Rapid IoT prototyping with Balena
summary
Shows a working prototype: a Raspberry Pi device that reads QR tickets with rotating signature keys, runs containerized validation logic and a display, and receives OTA updates through Balena + Docker Compose + balenaCloud. Builds and deploys from source to devices, uses a VPN manager for telemetry, and proves a PoC delivered quickly and cheaply — free up to 10 devices. Production work switches hardware and platform to AWS Greengrass, not the Pi.
